Etymology
誌 combines 言 (words, speech) with 志, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of recording or marking. The character expresses written records or documents.
Meaning mnemonic
Words (言) plus a marker (志) make a document: imagine someone speaking while a scribe records every word into a permanent journal.
Reading mnemonic
For シ, picture a sheet of paper filled with records: sheet -> シ, and the document is a sheet of written history.
